About the host
Hosted by Brian Garrick, Sigrid Garrick
We have always wanted to own a home in Northern Michigan and we were able to do so now in 2020. We love getting away from all the busyness of living in a major metropolitan area and escaping to the great Michigan north country. We are hoping to enjoy our new home in Comins Michigan for many years with our children and grand children. It is our hope that you too will be able to enjoy your stay here at our new house also.
Why they chose this property
We love being in Northern Michigan and experiencing all of God's wonderful creation there - e.g., pine and birch trees, natural forests, and beautiful nights showcasing God's amazing works. We also love log style cabins like this one, and how it's situated right off of a wonderful Cedar Valley Golf course. In addition, we liked how this home was in the country, but yet within walking distance to an amusement fun park (open during Summer only) and RV Campground. Many other activities can be done nearby also including canoeing/kayaking down the famous Ausable River, snowmobiling, RV trails, and hunting.
What makes this property unique
Large home able to accommodate large families or groups for reunions, Guys/Girls getaways, etc..
Right next to Cedar Valley Golf Course, Cedar Valley Wild Frontier Fun park, and Cedar Valley Campground.
Many activities to do in the area including canoeing/kayaking and fishing on the Ausable River, Snowmobiling and off-roading on trails, and hunting in nearby state forests.
